Project Search API

Search within the specified project.

If a user is not a member of a project and the project is private, a GET request on that project will result to a 404 status code.

GET /projects/:id/search

Attribute	Type	Required	Description
`id`	integer/string	yes	The ID or URL-encoded path of the project owned by the authenticated user
`scope`	string	yes	The scope to search in
`search`	string	yes	The search query

Search the expression within the specified scope. Currently these scopes are supported: issues, merge_requests, milestones, notes, wiki_blobs, commits, blobs.

The response depends on the requested scope.
